Your advertisement states that the app can install/uninstall apps and back them up on the SD card. Many apps can do that…. For $3 will you app also back up my other app’s custom settings and data from /data/data/ and /data/dalvik-cache/?

Hello Shane
Probably not. Because, even if we backup it, we cant restore it. If you compare free apps and this one, you can see that this loads much faster and looks much better.
And right now our AppControl have more features then others. And we working on new features. So let us know your suggestions about what features you need.

Very fast !!! Very good !!! But Browser is not shown in the list, so when I want to clear browser cache, I must to reopen settings->Application Manager which is very slow to do that.
It should have an option to show or not show android default apps, I think.

to Amcfarl:
Should works on hero, it’s works perfect on default official firmware. You can save and restore apk file, it doesn’t save apps settings, cause you need root to do so. The point to save apk is, do not download and search it again after wiping phone or for if app updated for new 1.6 firmware and you still on 1.5, so it doesn’t works for you and you need older version. No, this not system backuper, it’s app/apk manager, so it doesn’t save contacts or sms. Contacts automatically saves through autosync.

Does this work on HTC Hero phones? As of today’s date, can I now restore a program which I have backed up to SD card using App manager as it says in the above description, and get it to run properly? Otherwise, I’m not sure what is the point of backing anything up? Can I also back up my contacts list and restore it?

Looks really cool. I wish you would add Advanced Task Manager like functionality to show and kill currently running programs. Then I could get rid of Advanced Task Manager and replace it with this one.

this is a great application but I wish it replace the Apps drawer completely, is that at all possibly? I hate opening the Alps drawer than finding this application to view the same but more info…. I have. a droid if it is suppose to someone let me know thanks

I’d like to report a bug, but couldn’t find a place to do so. I purchased your AppControl application and like it a lot. The only problem I’ve had with it so far, is, unless I have “load icons on boot” checked, the program will crash as I scroll. I’m using this on Motorola Droid. Thanks.

Hi, just purchased from Android Market and I like it! The interface is nice and clean. Can I offer a few suggestions?

1. Can you add an option to make the buttons bigger? I have big fingers and the buttons at the bottom (Apps, Widgets, Backup, Install, Kill, Config, More, etc.) are hard to press sometimes. I have this on a Droid and it definitely has enough resolution to allow for it.

2. Could you have an option or “filter” that allows you to only kill open apps? Right now, the app killing functionality also lists system processes, and I’d like to have an option to not have them show up if possible.

3. Could the app killing functionality have check boxes (like Advanced Task Killer) which remember the last apps you killed? I hate to compare your product to ATK (since yours is a better deal), but ATK essentially takes 2 clicks to kill all the apps I want.

Personally, I would like to see an option to arrange (move the icons) the apps by categories that I name myself, such as games, business, internet, etc… And also a place to install widgets into one of the categories…

Hi, forgive my ignorance… Does this physically back-up (copy) applications to the SD card so they can be reinstated after a reset, or does it just save a link to the Android Market so you can reinstall later?
What is a .apk file?
Thanks.

Yes, it’s physically back-up (copy) applications to the SD. Apk – it’s extension of application files for Android. After backup it can be installed latter from sd card. So you can keep different versions of applications on sd card, if new version of some app broken after update, you can install old one from sd and wait till author fix current version.

Hello Vladimir! Thanks a lot for the widgets. They are really handy and candy ). Actually, here is a question. I would like to buy AppControl but cannot find the way to do that. Link to the market is broken. Any suggestions? And let me know about ways of payment plz. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I’m afraid of seeing so much application having so much permissions (gps, sms, contacts…). Have you an idea/scheduled feature to display them, sort applications by permission, remove permissions, block them, ask a manual confirmation for each application… Thanks a lot for our privacy and security
